title: [Expert assessment in the evaluation of the so-called rotator cuff rupture of the shoulder].
abstract: The tear of the rotator cuff only in rare occasions is caused by an adequate trauma. Degenerative changes in elderly patients mostly are the reason for the defect called "trophic perforation". In the operative treatment of such lesions an exact description of the macroscopic findings and the histological investigation are necessary.
